"See? Tracing Him Is Cool, Because I've Lampshaded It!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Ronjon.

And yet another clichéd parent appears.  I shall call Zed's dad "TEXAN GUY"!  Because that is apparently exactly how much thought Muir put into his character.

"Yep, A Crude Moron, Just Like Me..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because why not?

And remember, he thinks this shows what quality people Zed père and frère are.

"I Watch It For The Boobies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Orange Lodges.

Ahh, yes.  More of the brilliant Damon wit...

"I See Now That Bigotry And Evil Are The Way Of The Righteous!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Bananas Foster.

...

Says the (fictional) woman whose husband doesn't believe in global warming, or any science that inconveniences him for that matter.

Astonishing how Muir's characters get stupider as his approval for them grows, isn't it?

"Yeah! They're All Teh Gays!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Humpty Dumpty.

Ah, yes, the ongoing "improvement" of Jan into another hateful idiot bigot.  Muir's cast continues its ongoing efforts to be the most obnoxious bunch of assholes imaginable.

"They Are Naturally Subversive! Hiss! Hiss!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Joe Cocker.

And remember, we're the bigoted ones, for not accepting this self-evident truth.

"Not Like The Glorious Bastions Of Freedom That Are Republican Cities!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Derby Dilly.

And so Jan realized yet again that her cherished values were evil and wrong.

"His Brand Of Ultra Right-Wing Philosophy Is Different Than My Brand, And Therefore Wrong! Also--Boobies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because horla.

It's sort of like watching a Three Stooges skit transformed into a philosophical discussion.

Or rather, an attempt at one.

"The Cop Who Shot A Man Is A Victim, You Uppity Negro!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Samsonite.

And there's the racism, thick and heavy.  (But remember, folks, saying Muir's is being racist when he's being racist is racist on the Square Planet.)

"Why Can't You Leave Those Fine Gentlemen In The Feguson PD Alone?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because grotesque.

Right.  How dare he not simply allow the Ferguson police to handle it in the sterling manner in which they are doing?  Why this is just like the Sixties, when those damn Northerners came south and started interfering with the natural order. 

"I Really Can't Keep My Arguments Straight..."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because marsupial.

Yeah, and they stay married because...

"You're Parasites, Plain And Simple!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pulled pork.

...Yeah, the mental jujitsu necessary to make this the Democrats' fault is... quite extraordinary...

"Also, Remember To Hang Your Food In A Tree!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Edsel.

Muir.  Trying so hard to be wacky, with a determinedly bad sense of humor.  Sort of like a bad National Lampoon movie.

"Distracting Thing! Distracting Thing!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because John Cowper Powys.

Ahh, yes, let's focus on the most sordid side of the byzantine power struggles that mark Texas politics and avoid dealing with Missouri until the tear gas is all gone...

"Oppression! Wimmen! Bodily Fluids!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because only $5.00.

I think we're building to a REAL bit of Muir-style crazy in the near future.

"You Are Not One Of The Privileged Few Who Know The Truth!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you remember Uncle Joe--he was the one who was afraid to cut the cake.

Oh well.  At least he isn't using Damon to explain what's going down in Missouri to us.

...

...

Crap.  It's going to be awful.

"His Name Is Funny! That Means His Argument Is Invalid!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wildebeast.

...

...

Yeah.  It doesn't mean what you think it means, Muir.

"Not You Silly Women. Or Those Bush-dwelling Blacks! And Forget About Those Heathen Chinese!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Wally.

The best part of this idiotic racist twaddle is that Muir is about as much a standard-bearer for civilization as Orval Faubus was in his day...

"Everyone Is So Mean To Us Because We're So AWESOME!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Burgrr.

Yeah.  Yeah.  You know, with the shit that's going down in Missouri, this self-pity and self-inflation disguised as commentary is really stomach-turning...

"The Assault On Our Belief That We're Inherently Better Is The Worst Sort Of Racism At All!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because smooth going down.

And remember, it's funny because they're married.  And very NOT-racist.

"Black Racists Who Persecute White NOT-Racists Like Us!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the captains.

Yes, Muir knows what REAL racism is--anything against white people--and what REAL Christianity is--whatever he believes.  And he knows that his opponents are degenerate and cowardly, and that he could whip them in a fist fight, if it ever came to that.

Not that it ever will, but he knows he could.

"I'm Sure They're Waving The Muslims Right Through!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because oooh, child.

So inconvenience and security measures cause Muir to fantasize about murderous rampages?

Nice to know.

"He Should Be Riding A MONSTER TRUCK!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because it's a hard knock life.

And now he's insulting Obama for doing something I rather doubt Muir is physically capable of--he strikes me as the kind of guy who is beer-muscling his way through life, imagining that if a real fight comes up, he would naturally be triumphant.  And praising Putin.  Ahh, American Right wing "patriots".  Admiring an idiot de facto dictator, and wishing we had someone like that here.

"He Cannot Equal The Quality Journalism FOX!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because journeyman work.

The Right.  Still reveling a dirty little "triumph" years later...

"And I'm Betting It's Filled With Smelly Jerks!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because say her name fifty times.

Muir's never one to let a lack of information prevent him from forming an immediate, rock-hard, and highly critical opinion.

"One Day, We Shall Liberate Them From Their Oppression!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Dinah won't you blow your horn?

Ahh, cheap sexism and Clinton bashing.  Muir swiftly returns to form.

"I'm Sorry, Dear! I'm Being Almost Funny!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because James Fenimore Cooper.

Ahh.  Muir's semi-yearly almost clever strip. 

Of course,  there is the question of WHY he's reading the medication list right then...

Like Marilyn Monroe. Only... Bad.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because flambé.

...Why does Muir imagine he knows how to make things sexy?  Why?

"We Are So Being Oppressed!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because 42 in '47.

Ahh, the never-ending whine of imagined white privilege.  Because you know you deserve things by being innately better than... those people.

"They Don't Respect Us! That's Why They Must All Die!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because jaeger.

"Hey, why do people respond to us acting like jerks as if we were acting like jerks?"

"They Are Trying To Keep The White Man Down!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring.

Well, it's illegal to just ask suspected illegals to show you their papers on the street.  For reasons that are pretty obvious when one pauses to think on it.
